Read to your children. Fill your home with good books, habits, and thoughtful conversation. Help form them into wise and decent people. Education begins at home
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but the length of words used in recent children books is way too short. No wonder why kids can’t learn to read when in a book with >420 words we read earlier, less than 10 were 8-9 letters long. Most were <6 letters.
I’ve got a few years to go before In 43, but this really captures the experience of the elder millennial.
They will want to rewrite the history books, and the only way to verify the facts will be to go directly to the primary sources. Those who know the language of our ancestors will be able to discern the truth. Those who do not know it will be at the mercy of whichever ideological translator holds an academic position. Therefore, it is essential for the future survival of Western civilization that we all begin to learn Latin.
@robertsepehr @Greene_Thoughts @BreitbartNews Why isn’t dismantling white male focused societal conventions not a good deal? Why isn’t giving groups, such as women and no -whites more opportunities to maximize their potential. Why is aiming for diversity in groups making decisions bad, as they clearly come up with better2)
A method called “baby-led weaning” has recently caught on among many parents, Olga Khazan wrote in 2025. Its proponents claim that infants don’t need to be spoon-fed baby food—in fact, they don’t need to be spoon-fed anything. theatln.tc/KRS3EiKV But as Khazan spoke with baby-feeding experts—and tried baby-led weaning with her then-six-month-old son—she learned that the method has less evidence behind it than its supporters claim.
Homeschooling is fun and cute when your kids are little, however as my kids get older I’m more and more thankful that we’ve chosen to homeschool. At first you just want all that extra time with them and it’s easy and fun and they just get to play a lot. But as my kids get older I see how high of an impact homeschooling has. In every area. How they interact socially with friends, how they integrate into our family, how they process events in life and in media, how they view themselves, and how they take in what they are actually learning in school. The side conversations we have when I’m folding laundry and they wander in with a seemingly random question that actually reveals a much deeper thought. What if they asked their teacher instead of me and she gave a weak or wrong answer? How would that settle into their soul in a way I would never know about? The longer I raise these kids and the more time we spend homeschooling the more I can’t imagine letting them go out into the storm of public school.
there was something beautiful about library checkout cards because you could literally see the history of human curiosity attached to a book. like a tiny ghost trail of strangers connected by the same story.
These are all of the books I read in my Great Books classes at Pepperdine. Classical education is a must!
